S3E10: Time skips! Love them or hate them, we all experience a time skip or two in our lives. With every ending comes a new beginning, and with new beginnings come new opportunities for growth and reflection. As Josué and Rae prepare for their own time skip as season 3 comes to a close (hopefully NOT another 5 year time skip!), they examine the concept of time skips, discuss their favorite and least favorite time skips, and explore all the different ways time skips can be used through the Geek Therapy lens- excitement, growth, reflection, goal-setting, curiosity, as well as using time skips to process grief, disappointment, and practicing radical acceptance.
